"?"

This request was completely beyond Wu Liang's expectations, and he was now a little unsure of Lu Bu's intentions.

If Wang Mang's head is in Lu Bu's hands now, then the Wang Mang head contained in the iron box of Xiandi must be fake or non-existent. In this way, Lu Bu already knew it, and there was no need to ask to go with Wu Liang.

Go and check out these three treasures that have been passed down through generations... unless he has other ideas in mind.

And if the suspected "Luotou clan" head in Lu Bu's hand was not Wang Mang's head at all, Wu Liang would be even less sure what Lu Bu was thinking.

But one thing is for sure.

Lu Bu has been doing the same thing as Wu Liang.

However, the main purpose of Wu Liang's tomb robbing was archeology, and helping Boss Cao get some valuable things to supplement his salary could only be regarded as a side job. According to Lu Bu's old subordinate Yang Wanli, Lu Bu's main purpose of robbing tombs was to steal the treasures and gold in the ancient tombs.

Own it for yourself, thereby expanding your own strength.

And according to the previous spy's account, during this process, Lu Bu should have obtained some strange spells or treasures related to ancient witchcraft just like Wu Liang.

This was also confirmed by Prince Chamu. When Prince Chamu saw Lu Bu for the first time, he saw in him a more powerful aura related to witchcraft and Taoism than Wu Liang, but he was not sure yet about Lu Bu.

What kind of magic has he mastered, and how many powerful treasures are in his hands.

And before that.

Wu Liang also grabbed a "Si Dan" belonging to Lu Bu from Hao Meng and Cao Xing, Lu Bu's former subordinates who had been executed by Yuan Shao. This thing can cure evil and poison, and if it is overdosed, it can also be used as poison to harm people.

This is a rare good thing. Keep one when you often go to ancient tombs. It can always deal with some special situations, thereby reducing the casualties of the Hu soldiers.

When Wu Liangzhong was thinking this.

Boss Cao had already agreed to Lu Bu's request with a smile: "Since Fengxian is also so elegant, I will go with Youcai when the time comes. However, Youcai has the grand ambition of compiling a general history for me. It is best to do this with Youcai."

For the sake of the Lord, I should obey the talents' arrangements and just watch from the sidelines."

"My child understands."

Lu Bu raised his hands and responded obediently.

"By the way, Youcai, I see that you are always carrying a wooden box behind you. What is locked in this wooden box?"

Boss Cao nodded slightly, looked at Wu Liang curiously and asked.

Being able to bring it into Boss Cao's camp, the contents of the wooden box have already been inspected by the guards outside the camp, and there is absolutely no way it contains any sharp weapons.

When Wu Liang came to see Boss Cao before, he had never had the habit of carrying a wooden box on his back.

Therefore, Boss Cao had reason to conclude that the contents in the wooden box should have been brought by Wu Liang as a gift to him. However, Wu Liang never took the initiative to offer the treasure, so Boss Cao was anxious and took the initiative to ask.

"Ming Gong, the contents of this wooden box are of great importance and can only be inspected by Ming Gong alone..."

Wu Liang, however, hesitated to speak and glanced at Lu Bu next to him.

Boss Cao understood immediately, but then a look of embarrassment appeared on his face, and he looked sideways at Lu Bu.

The palm of the hand is made of flesh.

The back of the hand is also fleshy.

What's more, the power currently controlled by Lu Bu is very important to Boss Cao. Although Wu Liang can say this, Boss Cao cannot immediately push Lu Bu away, otherwise he will be alienated from Lu Bu, his "adopted son", and there is no guarantee that he will not appear.

The gap will lead to a crisis of trust that affects the overall situation.

Fortunately, Lu Bu was also a sensible person, so he immediately took the initiative and said: "Father, I remember that there are some official matters in the army that have not been arranged, so I will come as soon as I go."

"Since it's official business, we can't delay it. Let's go."

Boss Cao was relieved and nodded to Lu Bu with a smile.

"promise."

Lu Bu responded, and took one last look at Wu Liang, before taking long strides and walking out of the tent without looking back.

"..."

Looking at Lu Bu's back, the corners of Wu Liang's mouth raised slightly.

In fact, what this wooden box contains is the secret correspondence between Yuan Shao and Zhang Liang. Many of them are dirty things that Yuan Shao told Zhang Liang to do. The biggest role is to help Boss Cao fight a public opinion war.

Although these secret messages can be considered confidential, there is actually no need to teach Lu Bu to avoid them.

Therefore, Wu Liang taught Boss Cao to reject Lu Bu intentionally.

He knew in his heart that nearly capturing the head of the suspected "Luotou clan" last night must have shocked Lu Bu. In the short term, especially when he was still with Boss Cao, Lu Bu would not act rashly again.

And if Lu Bu stopped acting rashly, it would be difficult for Wu Liang to find anything again.

Only by arousing Lu Bu's dissatisfaction and curiosity in this way will Lu Bu be able to take risks in the near future and leak more clues.

Moreover, as long as Boss Cao leaves the secret message in the wooden box, the bait has become Boss Cao.

Even if Wu Liang aroused some dissatisfaction and suspicion from Lu Bu, he was still the fisherman sitting on the shore. Although it is hard to say whether he will become an air force in the end, the fishermen on the shore are definitely much safer than the bait in the water, at least they are not fish.

The child’s primary goal.

"Can we take out the contents of the wooden box now?"

When Lu Bu left the tent and the door curtain was lowered, Boss Cao had already sat cross-legged next to Wu Liang and spoke to him in an inconspicuous but very intimate manner, just like a real close relative.

"Ming Gong, wait a moment."

Wu Liang nodded, and took down the wooden box without haste, and then untied the ropes tied to the wooden box. The neatly arranged rolls of simple bamboo slips contained in the wooden box

The slip finally appeared in front of Boss Cao.

"This is……"

Boss Cao has a high level of education and is a good writer of poems. Therefore, he is also a person who loves reading. However, Wu Liang never thought of sending books to him. Could it be that these slips contain important things?

"Ming Gong already knows about my friendship with Zhang Liang, the commander of Jinyang, in Jinyang City, right?"

Wu Liang asked.

"Of course I know that the news that Emperor Xian is in Anyi is from this."

Boss Cao nodded, but still didn't know what Wu Liang wanted to express.

"My lord, please read this letter first."

Wu Liang picked up the top scroll and handed it to Boss Cao. It was the message intercepted by Wu Liang a few days ago. The real Zhang Liang had no chance to read it again.

"?"

Boss Cao frowned, shook off the slip and took a closer look. In just a few breaths, his expression had changed drastically. He looked at Wu Liang in shock, "This Yuan Benchu ​​actually wants to send someone to assassinate Emperor Xian."

?! This is a serious crime that risks the disapproval of the world. If this matter is spread, even if he, Yuan Benchu, has the reputation of being the fourth generation and the third prince, he will be criticized by the people of the world, and the entire Yuan family in Runan will probably be completely ruined by this.

If you lose your reputation, it will be difficult to ascend to the court from now on!"

Seeing Boss Cao's shocked expression, Wu Liang almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

Although what Yuan Shao did was not treasonous, your boss Cao's ambition was not necessarily less than his. In fact, the things he did after welcoming Emperor Xian were even more egregious than Yuan Shao's.

In front of Emperor Xian, he forcibly killed Emperor Xian's pregnant nobleman.

He imprisoned Emperor Xian's queen to death (some say killed), and even poisoned the two princes born to the queen with poisonous wine.

It's not Wu Liang's nonsense.

To be honest, what Boss Cao did later was far more extreme than even Dong Zhuo, who was punished by the world at the time.

Even if Yuan Shao directly assassinated Emperor Xian, he might not be more "disloyal" than the things Boss Cao did. At least he gave Emperor Xian a happy ending.

So Wu Liangzhen didn't know how Boss Cao had the nerve to act so "shocked".

However, Boss Cao may also be shocked not by the fact that Yuan Shao intended to assassinate Emperor Xian, but by how Yuan Shao could make such a confused decision?

When he received the news, he hurriedly came to "King Qin" in order to achieve his political goal of "holding the emperor's hand in order to disobey his ministers". Yuan Shao's decision to assassinate Emperor Xian was naturally a stupid move in his opinion.

He was shocked how Yuan Shao could be so clueless.

After all, historical records show that Boss Cao and Yuan Shao were good friends when they were young, and later joined the court as officials together. They must have a relatively deep understanding of each other, and they should have a sympathetic relationship.

Later, the Kwantung Allied Forces attacked Dong Zhuo, and Boss Cao had a very close relationship with Yuan Shao.

Even in the official history, before Boss Cao received huge benefits from welcoming Emperor Xian, Yuan Shao did not want to see Boss Cao's family becoming the dominant one, and Boss Cao counterattacked Yuan Shao in the name of Emperor Xian, Yuan Shao and Boss Cao had not yet officially turned against each other.

Calculated based on the official history that Wu Liang knew.

This should be the second time that Boss Cao and Yuan Shao have completely different opinions on a major matter.

The first time was when the two of them were officials in the capital and faced the problem of "killing ten regular servants."

At that time, Yuan Shao advocated transferring Dong Zhuo to Beijing to use Dong Zhuo's support as the Qing emperor, but Boss Cao believed that this was a way to bring disaster and would definitely lead to the fall of imperial power and chaos in the world.

In the end, it was Yuan Shao who realized his idea.

Then, just as Boss Cao predicted, Dong Zhuo took advantage of the situation and took power in the government. Even the Yuan family in Runan was persecuted by Dong Zhuo, and Yuan Shao had to choose to flee east to save his life.

Facts have proved that Boss Cao's vision and judgment of the situation are indeed much better than Yuan Shao.

And a "smart man" like Boss Cao can't understand Yuan Shao's "stupid strategy", so why is he so shocked?

Just when Wu Liang was thinking this.
